This picture sums up the mini-notebook frenzy at Intel's IDF in San Francisco – we’ve never seen so many mini notebooks in one place.

Fingers crossed the mini Inspiron will be as cheap, and as good as Eee 900 and the HP Mini-Note. Here are the teaser pics.

The notebook giant is planning an ultra low-cost portable to join the ranks of the Eee PC and MSI Wind (though not necessarily a direct competitor, they say). Check out our pic, and first impressions.

We've put both mini-notebooks through their paces, and while Linux fans may disagree, the winner is clear.

The 1000HE could be our new favourite if ASUS’ claims of 9.5 hour battery life stack up.

Battery life is turning into a major selling point, as we discover when we tested Toshiba's new mini NB100 netbook.

We're worried about the damn hot operating temperature, but otherwise we're blown away by this mini notebook.

Can a new Intel chip put make the sub $1,000 portable even more attractive? We cast our eyes over the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE's tasty looking specifications.

Is Sony’s new Vaio P the new Lord of the Mini Notebooks? The tiny mini-me laptop weighs a puny 600grams, with 60GB HDD or 128GB SSD.

Hot on the heels of the Eee PC 1000 comes the "N Series", which ASUS calls the netbook's "next of kin".

It's not much bigger than an Eee PC 901, and will cost a mere $429 when it goes on sale in 4 to 5 weeks. But what does it look like up close? Feast your eyes on our exclusive photo gallery.

The battle of the mini-notebooks heats up. We get our first peek at Acer's new pint-sized Eee PC challenger, the Aspire One.

It looks like Pioneer wants the record for one of the cheapest notebook on the market. Take a look.

See our side-by-side comparison of the three big guns in the sub-$1,000 mini notebook race, the ASUS N10, S101 and the Eee PC 1000H.

They’re faster than hard drives, and save battery life, but do they last? Intel says yes, and has 80GB and 160GB SSDs on the way.

William Maher wonders if expensive notebooks are really that much better than the $499 EeePC.

Ludicrously big batteries will arrive this year for laptops, says MSI, at the launch of its Wind U100+ netbook and ultra-thin X340 laptop.

Dell's long awaited entry into the Eee-class notebook market is a top effort, though not perfect.

Pioneer follows up on its cheap Linux notebook with an even more pants-wettingly cheap $349 DreamBook Light IL2. And it's only 800grams.
